I was just at the store during lunch and saw the newest copy of RR’s magazine for sale in the checkout isle. Someone went out and got some 30 minute breast enhancements. ---

There are people up there that know so much more than we do. If they think she is sending coded messages to begin an attack, who are we to question. She may be a Manchurian Candidate and does not even know what she is doing. We have been saved and we all can sleep better for it. ---

Dunkin Donuts makes and add with a chef who wears a scarf somewhat reminisent of something members of a political group associated with terrorists wear and there’s a huge uproar. Dunkin’ Donuts uses a [Hitler impersonator](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4466/705/1600/fred%20the%20baker.0.jpg) for 15 years to sell donuts, and there’s hardly a peep. People need to re-prioritize their outrage. ---

Malkin is OK, I guess. The rule is: If I can see the whites of the top of your eyes, I may bang you, but I don’t trust you to sleep over. This rule also applies to that blonde dingbat on the Housewives show. ---

[/QUOTE] I will defer to the wisdom of their on-staff bean counters and focus groups.

My in-laws are Filipinos who survived the WWII Japanese occupation, and they despise anything Japanese (including sushi). Can you blame them? What the Japanese did to them (and to a pretty sizeable number of Americans on the islands) was much worse than the American concentration camps. I cite Ken Burns’ excellent documentary, _The War_. According to one survivor, the American children at camps run by the Japanese army in Manila made a game of seeing how long it took before they could feel their backbones through their belly buttons. I’m not saying American (and Canadian–let’s not forget them) concentration camps were a good thing; in fact, I feel it’s a terrible shame that we get all righteous about other countries’ concentration camps and neglect to mention ours in the schools or in much public discourse. I also feel that America has (and had) an obligation to be above that shit, even when it’s politically acceptable, but with Gitmo and Abu Ghraib, we know that’s too much to ask. C’est la vie. Anyway, my point is that I can’t blame the survivors of any forcible occupation, especially a concentration camp, for despising the culture which created it. In fact, it’s a credit to the Japanese-American community that there seems to be little bitterness about what we did to them back then. ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] Stupid women are decidedly not hot. No matter what they look like. ETA: The same goes for men, I’m sure. I really wouldn’t know. [/QUOTE] You are wrong on so many levels. Dumb chicks gain +1 on the “1 to 10” scale for every 10 points below average they are on the IQ scale. Drunkenness adds an additional +1, and vulnerability increases the threshhold from 10 to 15. A dumb, drunk, vulnerable chick is a “drop everything and do her NOW” situation. ---

If we plot drunkenness along the horizontal of the graph, and dumbness along the vertical, then calculating the total area of the chick yields the measure of her vulnerability. — Dr. J. Evans Pritchard ---

Slightly off topic… but what I found amusing about the whole thing. That background has GOT to be Salem, OR- or at the very least that building in the background is Oregon’s capital building in Salem.
